| BAsEBALL.-Our Henderson boys, the
"Carolinas" were off last week playing
baseball-winning golden hOnors all
around. Henderson has always been
proud, both of the personnel and playing of
this club, and now, if possible, her interest
and admiration will increase. That fair,

minute notice of the games played there

CATTLE SHow.-Once more we wish tC
call the attention of parties interested tC
the propriety and advantage of holding a
cattle show at this place. We have made
frequent allusion to the benefits to be de-
rived from such an exhibition both to the
owners of fine cattle and this section gen
orally. Why some steps have not been
taken in reference to this matter can only
be construed into indifference of what will
be of great benefit to the town, the sur
rounding country, and the individual own
ers. Individually we have no axe to grind
and feel it would be unbecoming i'll us to
make farther suggestions to the intelligent
gentlemen who are expected to forward
the movement

LETTER FROM MACS HEAD.
SPECIAL correspondence Of the GoM Leaf.

MACS HEAD, n. c.. July 26, 1887.
EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-Nags head is a
place with not a half, or third, of the
fame it deserves, and is but little known tC
the people of North Carolina or rather, L
should have said known only to those liv-
ing in the Albemarle and PamlicO section.
l believe Mays Head was intended by the
great author OF Nature as health resort
The hotel, large three story house, is sit
uated not far from the junction of the AL
bemarle and Currituck sounds, only few
hundred yards from the blue pillows OF
the Atlantic Ocean.
The great eye of day rises on the briny
waves of the deep, and sets in the placid
waters of the Albemarle. If there be
another place in the domain of Uncle Sam
where you can see the sun rise and set in
the waters, | would be obliged if some
kind friend would inform me where that
place is.
The hotel is not only near an expanse of
water. but an ocean of fine white sand,
which at times is as terrific and unmanage-
able as the briny deep. great mountain
of this sand, several times higher than the
hotel, is about TO claim the building as its
own, and will take it in less than year
unless the building is moved. One hotel,
about hundred yards from this, has
already been covered up, and nothing OF ii
now is visible save the points of two or
three lightning rods glistening in the hot
sun. There are also several private dwell
ings here that, sooner or later, will be
hopelessIy buried in the sand.
five or six steamers run here regularly
and the number of guest at present is about
one hundred and sixty. In addition to this
number there are about twenty-five fami-
lies here, who own their cottages and come
yearly to spend the summer. Among the
guest at the hotel notice r. B. salisbury

Town COMMISsIONERS.-O wing to sick
ness, and other unavoidab causes, we
have not been able to attend the meetings
of the Town Commissioners, and the Mayor
Court and therefore have not given in these
columns their proceedings. We learn that
there has been considerable comment in
reference to the amendments Of the special
tax clause to the ordinances, but are not
sufficiently advised to be warranted in
making comments. Doubtless our city
fathers have made some grievous mistakes,
for no one ever knew a Board that did not,
but as far as we have been able to judge,
the average of their actions will make a
favOrabl comparison with other Boards.
We suppose Town Commissioner is, in
one respect, somewhat like a newspaper
editor-euory5ody can tell him how to run
the thing, while there is not anybody who
can do it to please eceryb0dy. While we
recognize this fact, we also recognize the
duty of the press to publish the public con-
duct of public men with such comment as
the occasion may justify; and whenever it
is possible to do so, we will endeavor to
keep our people posted on what is done by
those in whose hands they have placed
their interest.

Bolton, Tex, April 19.-John A.
Henry, one of Belton's most popular
young men, met with an accident this
morning st 10 a. m. which resulted ia the
loss of his right hand and in other in
jGries which may yet prove fatal. Henry,
in company with two or three other
young men, had gone out on the
Lampasas river on fishing expedition and
had carried with them several
sticks of dynamite for the
purpose of killing fish. Henry
had prepared cartridge and
lighted the fuse preparatory to throwing
it in the water. The fuse, as he thought,
failing to burn he still held the cartridge
in his hand, and while striking a second
match the charge exploded, blowing his
hand to atoms, and throwing his body
several feet in the air. His companions
placed him in buggy and brought him
Immediately to Bolton, arrivin G here at

night convinced that his wife was not

in a cradle, and without warning he fired
three shots at her from a large revolver,
killing her instantly. No one ventured
into the house, and for an hour he re-
NAMED with his victim. Finally the
officers ventured near and saw him fondly
caressiDg the dead body. Thereupon
they bounced down upon him in time to

of the born leaders Of the people on both
sides, comfortably and igRobly resting in
the shade by the wayside. Neutrality Is
q d ubtful place at best. But in a case
where interests OF such gigantic moment
are being decided we doubt If it is not the
place of all men, especially those who
have been the leaders of the people, to
come out for their convictions and
endeavor to strengthen the right, as they
understand 1t. This would insure full
discussion. This would insure the turn
ing up to the broad light of day bottom or
bedrock PHILOSOPHERS, principles and
facts. The people of Texas want to act
for the best, and in adopting such an in
Dovation upon all southern or Demo-
cratic policy they will want TO be pro-
foundry couviced that in giving up the old
and tried policy of our section and party
they are getting in return political
jewel of inestimable worth and value.
Now with such an understanding as the
above would indicate, where is there
room to work in offensive personalism,
or why be reduced to the shifts of taking
up mere lapses of individuals and ign0r-
ing vital principles which bristle out all
over the subject. Are whisky, wine and
beer evils of the proportion claimed? II
so, does prohibition prohibit? Is pro-
hibitiOn the only or the best means
with which We can meet the evils? 1t
would seem that within these Ques-
tiUns will be found enough OF the solid
meat Of logic, the Chewing and digestion
OF which would leave little or no time for
the mutual Safeguarding which some on
both sides seem eagerly TO pant for.
1t IS serious question, and it should
be discussed seriously. The people con-
stitute the jury, and it is jury that al
ways renders a correct verdict when it is
we'll Informed as to the merits of the case.

an Accident without Parallel in the Eek
perience OF Railroad Men.
NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y, April 16.-This
morning one of the strangest accidents
occurred here that has ever been wit
messed by railroad gmen. An unknown
man, while walking along the track, was
struck by freight train and his body
was thrown up on the pilot of the
engine, where it lay until Larchmont
was reached. There it fell to the
road-bed and both feet were cut off An
other train on the opposite track struck
the unfortunate man, and once more he
was hurled up on the pilot and lay there
until New Rochelle was again reached,
when the body rolled off and the trunk
fell under the wheels a second time.
When the train moved it was seen that
only the headless trunk remained after
the terrible buffeting it had received. No
one was found to tell who the man was.
